Not complaining just commenting it's funny how a thread about gangbangs turned into a STD conversation. It's good to share these things though, even on a sex site. I think it boosts awareness no matter where it is posted.

To all those on the AIDS soap box things I suggest one book. Author is Christine Maggiore, an AIDS survivor and informer. The book is "What if everything you thought you knew about AIDS was wrong?" She uses scientific facts and examinations to show that it is the cocktails, drugs, pills, etc. that are the problem.
I know there will be a backlash of a lot of you calling me a sinner or a liar. Most will say "Have you had AIDS? No? Then shut up!". Just read the book before you criticize me.

Well-spoken PinkOrchid. The differences of opinion, and clarification of fact, that I find on Lit is part of what keeps bringing me back. And I always greatly appreciate those who can dissent without becoming vitriolic. Thank you!

There is no such thing as "taking safe sex too far."

How about using a full body condom ala The Naked Gun? But seriously, herpes can be transmitted through normal kissing. Would you consider using a dental dam for kissing "taking safe sex a little too far."? If someone wants to do that, I'm not gonna judge them, but they shouldn't judge me if I evaluate the risks and rewards of an activity differently.

You haven't gotten an STD from oral sex because you haven't been with somebody who's had one while you were engaged in the act. The idea that it's "not nearly as risky" does not hold up under statistical scientific scrutiny.

Oral sex certainly is much less risky, especially when it comes to the big one, HIV. According to this site, " In 2000, an American study of 122 gay men who had recently acquired HIV infection found that up to 8% of these infections were attributed to oral sex. However, if you consider this information in the context of the number of acts of oral sex which occur, the risk attached to each act is lower.

Everything in life may have risks, but why expose yourself to an additional risk if you don't have to? STDs are not only a medical hassle, they carry a social stigma and in some cases (herpes being one of them) they are life-changing. If one is not monogamous with a partner, one should be practicing safe sex - and that includes protections during oral sex. (Dental dams are much better than saran wrap, btw.)

People expose themselves to a risk if they think the reward is worth it. I enjoy riding on a motorcycle. It's risky, and I don't HAVE to do it, but I like it and feel that it is worth the risk. Sometimes when it's really hot out, I don't even wear a helmet! For me, the reward of latex free vaginal sex is usually not worth the risk, but the reward of latex free oral sex is worth the risk. For you, the reward of latex free oral sex isn't worth the risk, but the reward of latex free kissing might be.

My question: What about the guys you are doing this to? What if they prefer you to use a condom? Would that automatically opt them out?

They can get an STD just as easily as you can...and it doesn't necessarily have to come from you. They can get an STD from the traces of semen left in your mouth by other men. That is one HELL of a chance!

Hmm... I've never been with a guy that asked to put on a condom before I gave him oral sex. But if that happens, whether or not I go ahead and give him a blowjob will depend on how much I like him, how much I want to give him head, and whether or not the condom is flavored.

By not using a condom and putting yourself at risk...hey, your choice. But not using a condom puts THEM at risk too, and putting someone else at risk is COMPLETELY unacceptable behavior.

That doesn't make any sense. I don't force people to have unprotected sex with me. If I knew that I had a disease and had sex with a guy without telling him, that would be wrong. If I was cheating on a guy who thought we were monogamous, that would be wrong.
